Until 20:00 GMT on the 15th of August - get a gift decal “Approved by Wiki” with the purchase of Type 74 mod G/Kai Pack.

Type 74 (G)
The Type 74 was only the second tank created in post-war Japan. But it was made well: the first model was produced in 1975, but thanks to new modifications, it remained in use for many years. G is the ultimate modification of Type 74, and also the final.

Why? It’s all about the money: state of the art equipment costs a fortune. Judge by yourselves: a powerful 720 HP engine, side skirts, a thermal imaging system, and a laser rangefinder!

But the coolest feature of the Type 74 G is the hydropneumatic suspension. Thanks to it and the two-plane stabilized gun this tank is well suited for a sniper role: carefully peek ... Read more

Welcome to the War Thunder Summer Quest! This time, the event will take place in a new format: all you need to get prizes is just to earn mission points! Basically any activity in battle will get you closer to the rewards.

The number of tasks you need to complete to get the top vehicles immediately to your account is now smaller, but if you want to trade coupons on the market, you will need an additional upgrade that requires a little more effort to obtain.

For each completed task you will get a specific prize: a trophy with useful items, coupons for decals, camouflages for the event vehicles, player icons or decorations. Low ranked vehicles this time will be represented only by a tank but in future marathons we plan to alternate vehicle types for this prize.

See you on the battlefield!
